Camera

Cameras are not just windows to view your scene - they can be configured with various settings like view constraints, depth of field, and orthographic view. Initially, you view scenes through the default camera, which cannot be modified. To access configuration options, add a new camera.

Add Camera

Click the Add Camera button in the top toolbar to create a camera at your current view position. Each added camera can have unique parameter settings.

When adding a camera to your scene, the viewport doesn't automatically switch to the new camera. The camera is placed at your current view position, but you're not yet viewing through its lens. To enter a camera's perspective, click the icon shown below or the button in the right panel:

Camera Parameters

Show Viewfinder

Displays a semi-transparent gray frame in the viewport matching the viewfinder's aspect ratio. This frame represents the render area for ray-traced rendering.

Viewfinder Size

Select preset dimensions from the dropdown or set custom values. This determines output resolution during ray-traced rendering. See Ray-Traced Rendering for details.

Focal Length/Field of View

These settings control the camera's visible range. Higher values expand the field of view with stronger perspective distortion. Lower values narrow the view, approaching orthographic projection. Values are automatically converted between both parameters - adjust either one.

Camera Constraints

Camera constraints allow you to limit viewing parameters during user access. They restrict camera rotation, panning, zooming in, and zooming out. Setting all values to 0 creates a fixed view. Note: Camera constraints only take effect in published links.

• Rotation Constraints: Limits maximum rotation angles from current position
• Zoom Constraints: Controls maximum zoom-in (forward) and zoom-out (backward) distance
• Pan Constraints: Disables camera panning. When disabled, right-click (mouse) or two-finger drag (touch) pans the camera

Add to Render Queue

In the camera toolbar, add the current camera to the render queue for ray-traced rendering with its current parameters. See Ray-Traced Rendering for details.
